Aluminum and copper resources of the rich-poor, copper is the second largest country after oil strategic materials, import dependence up to 60%. Wire and cable, as the most important raw material, copper prices soaring in recent years, so that the wire and cable industry overwhelmed, on the other hand is the very rich reserves of aluminum, about 27 million tons, while the aluminum and copper in Europe and other developed areas, has been successfully used for over 40 years, a number of churches, hospitals and government agencies in the procurement of cables, will this new cable as the best alternative to copper.

 

In this case, with aluminum and copper exploration, production of aluminum cable has become a must choice for Chinese cable industry, which is the high price of copper was broken and the only way China's copper resources are scarce due to the bottleneck of the cable industry.

China is already the country's largest wire and cable manufacturing countries and consumer countries in the world, in 2012 Chinas wire and cable industry with a total of 5.1 million tons of copper, accounting for 68% of the country that year with total copper, with a copper content when the industry from 2000 year 2.83 times, while the total amount of copper in 2012, accounting for about a third. Therefore, China has long had to import large quantities of copper, including refined copper and copper ore. In front of the huge demand, China serious shortage of copper resources seems to have stretched.

Contrary to the lack of copper, China is one of the world's top ten bauxite resources in the country, to maintain reserves of 2.503 billion tons. Developed countries in Europe, insulated wires and cables with aaac conductor is much higher than the proportion of Asian and African countries, medium-voltage cable in some countries in all aaac conductor. As a trend, the global aluminum conductors insulated cable proportion is continuing to improve, which naturally there are some Chinese. The amount of domestic aluminum wire and cable industry development from about 600,000 tons in 2000 to about 2.3 million tons in 2012, an average annual growth of about 23.6%, far exceeding the growth in GDP. 2012 aluminum overhead lines is about 1.8 million tons, the total amount of aluminum proportion of the domestic cable industry was 78.2%.

From the Syrian point of view, the current promotion of aaac conductor cable has obvious advantages. For example, reserves of copper resources is limited; when large copper and aluminum and copper prices running high spreads, aluminum conductors insulated cables have a clear price advantage; cables party compression investment; especially aaac conductor cable with a life-cycle when the evaluation system with clear advantage. These aspects are conducive to the promotion of aaac conductor.

 

In fact, in order to break the bottleneck constraints caused by copper in recent years, China's wire and cable companies in the aluminum instead of copper made unremitting exploration. After many years of scientific and technological research successfully developed aaac conductor, both in electrical performance and mechanical properties of the full realization of aluminum instead of copper major technological breakthrough. Unlike traditional cable using aaac conductor  production process and technology and the development of new high-tech aluminum conductor power cable, compared with copper cables, the safety-carrying capacity, conductivity and security, conductor resistivity, especially sectional flow exactly the same or even better than traditional copper cables, make up the hard state aluminum as a conductor of numerous shortcomings resolved aaac conductor safety properties, electrical properties, mechanical properties of many major technical problems unresolved.
